Using ManagementObject to retrieve a single WMI property
- by Jesse
This probably isn't the best way, but I am currently retrieving the amount of RAM on a machine using:
manageObjSearch.Query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT TotalVisibleMemorySize FROM Win32_OperatingSystem");
manageObjCol = manageObjSearch.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in manageObjCol)
sizeInKilobytes = Convert.ToInt64(mo["TotalVisibleMemorySize"]);
It works well and good, but I feel I could be doing this more directly and without a foreach over a single element, but I can't figure out how to index a ManagementObjectCollection
I want to do something like this:
ManagementObject mo = new ManagementObject("Win32_OperatingSystem.TotalVisibleMemorySize")
mo.Get();
Console.WriteLine(mo["TotalVisibleMemorySize"].ToString())
or maybe even something like
ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_OperatingSystem");
Console.WriteLine(mc.GetPropertyValue("TotalVisibleMemorySize").ToString());
I just can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?
